I am so done with this. I am lost. Losing my mind, health and family. To start all over without consistency ... I can't afford the extra stress. I have one son with autism to boot... Not knowing where I'm going in September is not fair!!!!!! Tenured, common branches... I might just retire and start a new career. My sanity is worth more than this... Advice?? ATRs??Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337275005835982874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-85761508328308834592015-06-02T05:17:35.089-04:002015-06-02T05:17:35.089-04:00The powers that be find it necessary to continue t...The powers that be find it necessary to continue their worship at the alter of the young and inexperienced.<br /><br />Abigail ShureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-80393799221865031352015-06-01T12:53:31.469-04:002015-06-01T12:53:31.469-04:00The disgrace is that there are many, many great te...The disgrace is that there are many, many great teachers in the ATR pool. They are all treated with the presumption that they are incompetent malcontents. Every month we have to pay our dues (literally and figuratively) to prove everyone wrong. What's our reward? Do it all over again next month. Eterno is great guy and should be the UFT president, but instead he's a f--king ATR just like me.Bronx ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787717237141454628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-83692525300206592312015-06-01T09:37:36.648-04:002015-06-01T09:37:36.648-04:00And thanks Chaz.

Even if the principal didn't, it sounds like the teachers knew exactly who James was and I think that proves not all teachers are living under a rock!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-48049450867996078072015-05-31T17:50:35.235-04:002015-05-31T17:50:35.235-04:00Thanks Norm.Thanks Norm.James Eternohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578647381229034792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-26993412640833429402015-05-31T14:47:53.040-04:002015-05-31T14:47:53.040-04:00James Eterno is the best, not one of the best, the...James Eterno is the best, not one of the best, the best Social Studies teacher I have had the pleasure to work with. Most every student raved about his teacher ability and many of my students counted themselves lucky to have him as a teacher.<br /><br />Yet, in the Open Market, James couldn't even get an interview, despite applying to over ten vacancies. That tells you how the "fair student funding" keeps experienced ATRs from getting a permanent position.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.com
